-
Read the installation instructions carefully before you connect the system to its
power source.
Notes
:
Look carefully for possible hazards in your working area, such as moist floors,ungrounded
power extension cable, frayed power cord.
Locate the emergency power off switch for the room in which you are working. Then, if an
electrical accident occurs, you can act quickly to turn off the power.
Power off the switch and unplug the power cord before doing the following:
Installing or removing the chassis
Working near power supply
Do not work alone if potentially hazardous condition exists.
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.
If an accident occurs ,proceed as follows:
Turn OFF power to the system
Use caution
Determine if the victim needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compression; then take
appropriate action.
If possible, send another person to get medical aids. Otherwise, assess the condition of the
victim and then call for help.
Preventing electrostatic discharge damage
Electrostatic discharge can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It occurs
when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or
intermittent failures.
Always follow electrostatic discharge prevention procedures when removing and
replacing components. Ensure that the chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect
the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD
voltages to ground.To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks,the wrist strap
and cord must be used effectively.If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by
touching the metal part of the chassis.
General site requirements
This section describes the requirements your site must meet for safe installation and
operation of your system. Ensure that your site is properly prepared before beginning
installation.
Site environment
The switch can be placed on a desktop or mounted in a rack.The location of the chassis
and the layout of your equipment rack or wiring room are extremely important for proper
system operation. Placing equipment too close together, inadequate ventilation, and
inaccessible panels can make system maintenance or cause system malfunctions and
shutdown.
